And the winner for weirdest online auction of the day IS:
Posted by Chris

ali clippings .jpgThis crazy sale, features one of the weirdest items I have ever seen and it can be yours for a cool 65K. You will get an autographed photo and the all-important FINGER NAIL CLIPPINGS of Muhammad Ali! Yep, this is an eBay first for me.

****************************

I recently was asked, via the Tuff Stuff message boards, a question about Brett Favre autographed photos and what they are currently selling for. I told the person my estimate and where he could go to find a legit Favre sig… I also said that he could probably go to eBay and get a better price, but that he would have to be careful because of all the fakes that make their way to the Bay.
After I posted this I figured I would take a gander at what the Favre autograph situation actually was on eBay.

To my astonishment, I must say that there are an awful lot of horrible fake Favre autographs currently on eBay.

clippings.jpgI am no expert on signatures, but a lot of these are not even close. Plus, the fact that some are selling for under $20 is a big red flag.

Very sad that some people are getting ripped off by these worthless crooks. Part of the problem is the customer though. If you see a Jordan signature on eBay for $50, it is a fake.
If there is a Mantle signature on eBay for $100, it is a fake.

And if you see a Favre signature on eBay for only $15, it is a fake.
Come on people. If the price is too good to be true, it is usually a FAKE!
